Description
Here at Mothers Invested-in Life Fulfillment, we know sometimes all it takes to change the world is a little support. The core of our efforts is to be the support system every mother, father and child needs. Sometimes our personal goals is the sacrifice we make to be great parents. We want every parent to have the support system to do both. We have experienced so many tragic events from Police Brutality, Covid-19 pandemic and economic disparities. Many are overwhelmed with the lack of needed support in order to live a fulfilled life but EVERYDAY you wake up and decide to keep going, work hard, and be inspired you deserve to take a Victory Lap. Every step you make in order to become closer to your goals are VICTORY STEPS!
Every year Mothers Invested-in Life Fulfillment hosts a Back to School Bash and Supply Drive and The Joyce Brooks Rising Thunderbird Scholarship. With our Back to School Bash, we help parents prepare for the new school year by providing Bookbags, school supplies and clothes for children in the Chicagoland and South Suburban Area.
The Joyce Brooks Rising Thunderbird Scholarship honors the late Joyce Brooks and her 20 plus year dedication to education as a Teacher at Thornwood High School in South Holland, IL. The recipients of this scholarship will receive a prom send-off party and scholarship towards their college tuition, trade school or grant for business startup.
With this virtual race, Mothers Invested want to inspire the world to KEEP ACHIEVING. Our Victory Lap Run/Walk we want to motivate the world to show up for yourself, in times of struggle, doubt and uncertainty. Everyday we wake up with a dream, a goal, or a plan, but they can only be accomplished through dedication, determination and discipline. Every step you take towards your goals deserve to be celebrated.
